Garry,
I know that yours is a Tri-gear and probably rides on a regular flat bed 
trailer, but am I to understand that it wouldn't be a good idea to use the 
factory transporter to haul my monowheel tail first when completed? That 
would be a major problem and defeat  one of the reasons for choosing a Europa 
in the first place. I'd be trailering it everytime I flew it. Is this a 
widespread problem? 
Thanks.

Troy
